Hello Ty,
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 or 2017, any edition, should work. My best
guess is that you skipped installing the necessary parts of it. Run the
installer again, click "Modify" and make sure you have "Desktop
development with C++" ticked in.

I'm trying to build the JDK from Windows 10. I got so far as to
configure failing on finding what it needs from the Visual Code Studio
install via command line:
configure: Found Visual Studio installation at /cygdrive/c/Program

configure: Try setting --with-tools-dir to the VC/bin directory within
the VS installation
However there is no "bin" directory in this installation, at least not
one that contains any of the specified files. This is Visual Code 2019
Community, but I've tried the Professional version too. The building
document doesn't specify which version, nor does it tell me how to fix
this.
How do I get this to work via command line?
